the enlightener says

Cai Yang, Cai Yong's second son, left the camp with a thousand cavalry?Where is he going at this time?

Obviously not taking advantage of the dark to go hunting in the city.

It's a pity that Cai Yang's [-] cavalry are the elite of the Tang army, and there will inevitably be some strange people among them. It's not good for his subordinates to follow closely, so there is no further news until now.

"Could it be Cai Yong..." Jing Yu thought of a possibility and muttered in a low voice.

"Mr. Jing, let's eat something first." Abu said, "It's useless to get angry now, it's better to wait for the news with peace of mind."

Jing Yu raised his head slightly, glanced at Abu, smiled, and said, "I'm fine, I'm not very hungry. I didn't eat anything for two days and two nights when I commanded the operation before. I'm used to it. Eat first, if you want to come." Qin Ke went into the palace to do that dangerous thing, you are also very worried, right? There is no need to force me to comfort me."

Chapter 265 It's a Small Thing

"Uh..." Abu's hand holding the hot and sour noodle soup froze in the distance, and he was very embarrassed for a while. Although he was really worried, Jing Yu didn't expect him to say it so directly.

At this time, Cai Yan suddenly asked curiously: "Silly man, why did you only buy three bowls? Is it because you are not good at numeracy?"

Gao Yishui spat out a mouthful of hot and sour soup with a "poof", laughing so hard that his stomach ached, he wanted to hold his belly but held the sea bowl with both hands, unable to free his hands, he could only lean forward and backward, staggering, and fortunately he was still at this time. Don't forget to maintain the balance of the sea bowl, and even fail to spill the whole bowl of noodle soup.

Cai Yan looked at him, stretched out a foot, and stepped on his instep suddenly.

So the smile on Gao Yishui's face instantly turned into a kind of pain, glowing blue, he endured it for a long time, and finally let out a howl like a pig...

Fortunately, the cellar is underground, so it is difficult for the sound to be transmitted to the outside, otherwise it would have to attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Cai Yan stared.

With a green face, Gao Yishui said like a bitter gourd: "No... I didn't laugh... Heroine, if you don't make me laugh, I promise not to laugh..."

Cai Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Talk about something. Don't make it seem like I'm bullying you..."

Cai Yan stared, and he immediately said honestly: "I'm laughing, Jingwu Taixue has always been eclectic in educating talents, not only in poetry and etiquette, but also in Confucianism and law, and numerology is also one of the subjects. If Abu's numerology can It is so weak that it is not clear how many bowls, I am afraid that he will be kicked out long ago. After all, although the Taixuetang recruits poor children to study, it is impossible for Zhuge Wanling to help the world with his own efforts. A lot of money is wasted on those unqualified children."

Cai Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's just a joke, look at you!"

Cai Yan usually speaks with a crisp voice, but when she speaks softly, it is like wind chimes chirping gently in the breeze.

She suddenly moved closer to Gao Yishui, and whispered in his ear: "So, are you kidding me that I haven't been out of Ding'an City, so I don't know anything about the world?"

As she spoke, she raised one foot and stepped heavily on Gao Yishui's instep!

Gao Yishui almost jumped up because of this foot, and he could no longer hold the bowl in his hand. If Abu hadn't reached out to catch it in a hurry, he was afraid that the hot and sour noodles in this bowl would hit Jing Rain's face.

Gao Yishui's eyes widened, the pain made him suffocate for a while, he couldn't scream, his eyes popped out, like a goldfish, after a while, he finally let out a scream from his throat, but it was not as good as the first time This time it was loud, with a bit of sadness...

Cai Yan Shiran withdrew her feet, snorted triumphantly, sat back in her seat and continued to drink her fish ball soup, said with a smile, "That's right, I'm just bullying you."

Of course, Gao Yishui wouldn't be in pain when being stepped on by a woman, but there are only three men and one woman in the cellar, and he is the one being bullied, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels aggrieved.

But he thought that since Qin Ke could bring Cai Yan back from the Caizhu State Mansion, he must still have some kind of friendship with Cai Yan, and it was not easy to get angry at this time, so he just looked at Cai Yan resentfully, gritted his teeth, and said every word The word spit out from between the teeth: "A good man doesn't fight with a woman..."

"You are not a good man, at least you have a very light smell, and only singers in Qiongyinfang will use that kind of exotic rouge." Cai Yan didn't bother to look at him, and picked up a fish from the bowl Wan looked at it, and said: "You said that you have only been in Ding'an City for a few days, and you are in such a hurry to visit brothels?"

Gao Yishui stood up suddenly, and said righteously: "Who said that visiting brothels is not a real man? My young master is an elegant person, so he naturally has an elegant place..." He smiled slightly, "Of course, like A little girl like you must not be able to understand the elegance of a man like us."

Cai Yan rolled her eyes and said, "It's as if I've never been there. When I entered the brothel pretending to be a man, those Yingyingyanyans wanted to stick to me."

"No, no, no." Gao Yishui shook his head, looked at Cai Yan, showing some pity, "After all, you are not a man, you don't feel that way..."

"Okay, okay." Abu looked at the two helplessly, "It's just such a small matter, you guys are quarreling, I'm going out to help Ake deliver a letter later, so I won't eat it for now, you eat it Bar."

"Letter? What letter?" Cai Yan chewed the fish balls, and she didn't have too many rules for a young lady, and even let out a few sighs because the fish balls were very hot.

Gao Yishui understood it clearly, he gave a meaningful oh, and said narrowly, "Is it the letter from the girl named Zhang Fu?"

"Who is Zhang Fu?"

Gao Yishui chuckled, suddenly felt that he had found an opportunity to squeeze Cai Yan, cleared his throat and said: "She is a great beauty from Qunfang Kingdom, dignified and quiet, with a noble temperament like a white crane, extraordinary and refined, and most importantly, she loves Qin Ke's love is deeply rooted, unlike some young lady who has no self-knowledge..."

Cai Yan glared: "Who do you say has no self-knowledge?"

Gao Yishui looked at her raised feet, this time shrank behind Jing Yu with a bowl in his hand, and said in a low voice, "It's just that villains and girls are hard to raise..."

"Did you misunderstand something?" Cai Yan frowned and said, "What kind of deep-rooted love? What kind of self-knowledge? I have nothing with Qin Ke."

"Okay, okay, no." Gao Yishui said vaguely while drinking the noodle soup, covering his face with a sea bowl.

Abu glanced at Jing Yu, and saw that he was still frowning, sitting on the chair as if he closed his eyes and meditated.

Abu walked over and said: "A Ke gave me the letter before he entered the palace. He should have delivered it himself, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the palace, so he gave the letter to me. I heard that there are Qunfang in the city. My embassy, ​​it doesn’t seem to be useful for me to stay here now, it’s better to settle this matter and save him from worrying about it.”

Gao Yishui looked up at Abu, and laughed: "Why do I feel like you are arranging for Ake's funeral?"

Cai Yan gave him a white look: "Crow's mouth. Idiot, isn't Qin Ke your good friend? You have no confidence in him?"

"I have great confidence in him." Abu shook his head, "It's just that I can't sit still."

Gao Yishui didn't stop him, and said with a smile: "Alright, you can go. Just say hello to those sisters and sisters for me. Tell them, there is a handsome, bold and unrestrained handsome man named Gao Yishui, and now he is still alone , not yet married, if they are interested, they can come out and meet for a drink."

Abu smiled wryly, he had already noticed Cai Yan's contemptuous expression after hearing this sentence, and thought that this couple was a treasure, so he said hello to Jing Yu and walked out of the cellar.

The streets were brightly lit, and the curfew was often just a dead letter in the Tang Dynasty, and even the government officials didn't bother to shout it.

Abu took a breath of the cool night air, and stepped into the crowd step by step.

Qin Ke left him two letters, one was written by Zhang Fu, and the other was written by Qiao Feifan, who was temporarily residing in Jianye City. They were probably family letters to report safety, but Abu did not open them. I've seen it, and I don't have the bad taste to want to peep. Naturally, I don't know the relationship between Zhang Fu and Qiao Feifan and the female princess of Qunfang Kingdom.

However, this did not prevent him from sending the letter to the embassy with little effort.

In Ding'an City, Qunfang's embassy is located in a quiet corner in the south of the city. Over the years, this embassy has been renovated several times, but it has never been said that it will be moved.

The fact that this embassy has been in Ding'an City for so many years is naturally related to the close relationship between the two countries.

Qunfang's land is not big, and there is no army, and it didn't even exist many years ago.

Chapter 266 Qunfang Embassy

When the Ji Dynasty was prosperous, the place where Qunfang Kingdom was located was called "Yangjiang Plain", because it was a plain, and a river named Yangjiang crossed it, which not only supported the lush millet on both sides. , It nourishes the juicy girls here.

A king of the Ji Dynasty passed by here when he was traveling, and when he sighed that the crops were luxuriant, he also felt that there were many beauties here, so he lingered.

It's just that since ancient times, most of the amorous kings have no good end. Although this king is a man of love, he doesn't know how to govern. Just two months after he came to Yangjiangyuan, Jicheng was already captured by the princes. It also changed owners in a short period of time.

Someone suggested that he use the prestige of the emperor to call on soldiers from all over the world to serve the king, but he fell into the latrine and drowned in a panic.Such a thing became a joke at the time, and the woman who accompanied him for two months and the child in her belly naturally became orphans and widows.

In order to appease the clan, the emperor of the new dynasty specially took her to Jishang Haosheng to support her, and that woman was also staunch, and her daughter hung herself to death in the palace less than half a month after she was born.

The emperor felt sorry, so he made the infant girl a "queness", and designated Yangjiangyuan and other three cities as vassal states, and named them Qunfang.

To this day, Qunfang Kingdom has gone through a hundred years of trials and hardships, and the relationship with Tang Kingdom is as close as lips and teeth.

But unfortunately, Qunfang is not all the teeth of Tang Guo, but just one of them, even a tooth that is about to fall and crumble. If Tang Guo is in a bad mood one day and wants to knock this tooth out and throw it out, That was just a matter of thought.

Qunfang is a small person, and the whole country is almost all plains. There is no need for heavy troops to attack. As long as [-] cavalry charge, they can reach the capital of Qunfang. Qunfang also knows this situation, so he hugged Tang Guo early on. The thighs, paying tribute every year, and constantly assigning women to make marriages, this is how to maintain in such troubled times.

Yang Taizhen was the one who married Qunfang to the Tang Kingdom back then, but she has gradually gained power over the years and has become a new political star in the Tang Kingdom. Ruyun, I always think that I have to travel once in my life.

Abu walked all the way and opened the things he learned in the Imperial Academy like a book in his mind again, and sighed with emotion, thinking that it is really difficult to make a small country like Qunfang, they are like scattered sheep in troubled times , Grazing quietly under the gaze of a group of ligers and wolves.

Even if they may not have no teeth, they dare not show them at all, because once they overthink their own strength and start thinking that they shouldn't have, the ligers will no longer allow them to survive.

In front of those fangs and claws, the finely broken teeth they used to chew grass were like mantis arms and carts, and there was no hope of victory at all.

While thinking this way, he had already arrived at Qunfang's embassy. The door of the embassy was open and the lights inside were bright, but there was no porter in sight.

Abu wanted to leave the letter to the concierge, but now he can't go in.

"Is anyone there?" He called softly, but it seemed that the embassy was not fortified. He stepped over the threshold, entered the yard, and walked to the inside.

A woman's voice gradually came to his ears: "What do people in the palace say?"

"I don't know." Another woman jumped up and said, "I don't know how long it has been since we performed the dance, but we couldn't even enter the palace gate. What kind of performance is this?"

Abu slowly opened the door, and the two women turned their gazes over immediately, both of them looked surprised: "Who are you?"

In fact, Abu was even more surprised. He felt a little familiar when he heard the voice outside the door just now, but now, right now, right in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Miss Chan'er?"

The woman named Chan'er is wearing a skirt at the moment, but it is not the skirt she usually wears, but a tulle skirt on the stage. There is a charcoal fire in the room, so she does not hide it. Her snow-white neck, soft fragrant shoulders, The delicate clavicle and the red dress are like flames blooming.

Abu was a little dazed, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Chan'er covered her mouth, wondering why this man would say her name, but looked up and down, thought carefully, and finally recalled: "You are...that night..."

Abu nodded repeatedly, and was about to say something when he heard a sharp wind, his brows tightened, his body reacted naturally, and as he stamped his legs, he rolled into a ball on the ground, a little A cold light passed through his side, and then there was a "duh".

A pure white feathered arrow trembled on the door panel.

However, it is far from the time for Abu to breathe a sigh of relief. It is not raining, it is not raining after thunder and water are poured, and the sky is full of rainbows. It was another Feathered Arrow lurking in the dark.

Abu didn't speak, but the qi and blood had penetrated his whole body without a sound, and his muscles and bones were even crackling. From Jianye City to Wuxian County, and then back to Jianye City from Wuxian County, although Gao Changgong didn't specifically teach him the Qijin Sword along the way. Powerful and unparalleled moves, but under Gao Changgong's torment, his qi and blood cultivation has improved far faster than Qin Ke.

Now he can already feel that his muscles and bones are gradually being polished and mellow, and if he takes another step up, he is afraid that he will touch the state of "strengthening the bone marrow". With one shot, the whole person rose from the ground, and the second feathered arrow passed through his hair, with a sharp scream, it was nailed to the door panel again, making a muffled sound.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth...

The feather arrows came too fast, until Chan'er shouted upstairs: "Fish, stop!" A full eight white feather arrows had already been nailed into the door and wall behind Abu.

Sweat slowly dripped from Abu's forehead, and the violent movement just now cost him a lot of energy. This archer is obviously not an ordinary person, and if the force attached to each arrow is directed at his vitals, he can kill him. killed him.

It's just that from the first arrow to the eighth arrow, they only shot at his hands, feet or shoulders, and none of them went to his heart or head. From this point of view, the archer still kept some hands.

But Abu received eight arrows for no reason, and still felt angry. He stood up, looked up and glared at the archer upstairs, and was about to curse, but when he saw clearly, he was slightly taken aback.

The light in the room illuminated the cheek of the archer upstairs, but it was a woman, wearing a strong suit, her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, looking crisp and neat, there was no smile on her pretty face, her lips were tightly closed, and her eyes were closed. It showed a bit of sharpness.

And the bow and arrow she held was four feet long, which really didn't match her slender body.

However, Abu didn't dare to judge people by their appearance. From the eight arrows she fired just now, he could conclude that this woman must not be an ordinary person. Know the details.

"Yu'er, he wasn't the young master who stopped me that day, you made a mistake." Chan'er looked at the archer upstairs and frowned.

Then she walked up, looked at Abu with concern, and said, "I'm sorry, my friend is short-tempered and has gone too far. Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Abu said in a low voice, his breathing hadn't calmed down yet, the fiery blood in his meridians was vibrating with the violent beating of his heart, but looking at Chan'er, he somehow calmed down, facing this woman , he could no longer vent his anger.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, the blood flowed with his mind, the scalding heat in his meridians slowly cooled down, and then he let out a long breath.

Looking at his state, Chan'er let go of her worries slightly, but still said: "Treat the wound, it won't make you go away like this."

Wound?He stared blankly at Chan'er holding his hand. Only then did he feel a bit of pain. He lowered his head and looked at the opening on the back of his hand that was cut by the arrow's edge. Blood was flowing on it. , soon stained the fingertips.

Chapter 267

Chan'er pulled him and walked all the way in, as if thinking of something, she turned her head and said to the woman who just talked to her: "Sister Lin, I will take him into the back room to deal with it first, if there is any news in the palace, you can call I."

The woman nodded and responded: "Okay, I'll ask someone to see if there are other arrangements in the palace, don't wait too long, in case there is an order from the palace to let us hurry up Entering the palace, there can be no delay."

"I know." Chan'er nodded and opened the door of the room.

Naturally, the room couldn't be Chan'er's boudoir, but Abu was a little surprised when he saw the shelves in the room full of skirts of various colors.

Chan'er felt his gaze and blushed slightly. Although these clothes may not involve any privacy, as a dancer, few people enter here, which makes her feel like her little secret has been seen by others: "This is a place for dancing skirts, but my medicine box is also here. You sit down first and wait for me."

Abu sat down quietly after hearing her words, while Chan'er began to walk around the house, turning left and right, opening her clothes for a while, squatting down to look at the bottom of the box for a while, but there was no result. He muttered: "Hey, it's strange, I put it here..."

Abu looked at her like this, it was a bit funny. Compared with ordinary people, his resilience as a practitioner is already good. Although such a wound looks not small, it is actually just a small hole when the blood is wiped clean. Now it is slowly closing, and the blood is gradually congealing. He stood up and said in a low voice, "I actually..."

Chan'er suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Yu'er! Yu'er! Are you there?"

Abu felt a slight chill behind his back, and the archer just now appeared from behind, his eagle eyebrows raised slightly.But she seemed to have stood at the door for a while, but she never showed up.

Although she didn't bring a bow, she still had a golden dagger inlaid with various gemstones pinned to her waist.

In the eyes of outsiders, this dagger is as gorgeous as an ornament, but Abu already knows that this woman is not an ordinary person after passing through the chain of eight arrows just now. In addition, she is clean and neat, and her hair is only tied tightly with a belt, so there is no reason to bring one. It looks like a piece of broken copper but not useful. Thinking about it this way, this dagger must have its strengths.

Yu'er looked at Chan'er's appearance, the indifference in his eyes melted a lot, and he sighed helplessly: "Confused, didn't you take the medicine box for Sister Lin yesterday?"

Chan'er woke up with a start, suddenly realized "oh", patted her forehead again and again, said: "Yes, I forgot, look at my brain."

"You." Yu'er shook his head, "I don't know what I'm thinking all day, and I don't seem to wake up every day."

Chan'er looked at her tenderly, and said softly: "Isn't it because of you? With you here, I don't have to think so much." She opened her arms and hugged like a child. Yu'er, but Yu'er was made to take a step back by this enthusiasm, and sighed: "I'm convinced, you go get the medicine box first."

Chan'er nodded, looked at Abu again, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, wait for me a little longer, I'll go get the medicine box."

Yu'er showed a bit of disdain: "Chan'er, why are you being so polite to him? Even if he wasn't the son who stopped you that night, but he came to your door, probably just a guy who is greedy for sex, this kind of person He deserves to be hit by an arrow, it hurts him the most..."

Chan'er hastily covered Yu'er's mouth, the two of them entangled for a while, with Yu'er's skills, it was very easy to get rid of Chan'er, but there was friendship between the sisters, she was not willing to use too much force.

"What nonsense. The few people who stopped me at that time should be practitioners, and you are not by my side, I really can't do anything, thanks to him." Chan'er stopped Yu'er with her eyes, "Now I have been connected to you for no reason. You shot so many arrows and your hand was injured, you have to apologize to someone?"
